When your stomach feels sick and you need to get rid of what's inside, your body might push it out through your mouth. This is called throwing up. It's your body's way of getting rid of something that doesn't agree with it.
Remember to stay hydrated after throwing up to replenish lost fluids. It's important to drink small sips of water or electrolyte drinks to avoid dehydration.
